Every Single e.l.f Beauty Product in the New "Mean Girls" Movie: Ranked

e.l.f. Skin Youth Boosting Advanced Retinoid Serum (£22)

Spot it: In Regina's room

Finding a decent retinol serum can be confusing, but trust me when I say that this one from e.l.f. is a good one. A really good one. Instead of retinol (the most commonly used type of retinoid and the one you've probably heard of before) it uses a mix of retinal and granactive retinoid which work much faster than retinol and are far less likely to irritate your skin. These ingredients are normally only used by more expensive, premium skincare brands (think Medik8, Skin Rocks, and Roc) making this a total bargain. The only catch is the yellow tinge, which is down to the colour of the raw ingredients, but the silky texture and fine line-busting results make it worth marking your pillowcase a little (don't worry – it washes out easy).

e.l.f. O Face Satin Lipstick (£9)

Spot it: Worn by Cady in class

I like lipsticks that don't make wearing lipstick feel like a full-time job. Essentially something that glides on easily without the need for liner or a magnifying mirror, and that won't jump ship the moment I take a sip from my water bottle. This is a real box ticker, with a creamy, satin texture that's a doddle to swipe onto lips with impressive colour payoff in just one coat. I did my usual apply, blot, reapply and blot again, and that was enough to keep it in place for a good four hours before needing to touch up. It's available in 20 shades from neutral nudes through to deep berry tones – and plenty of pinks for Wednesdays, obvs.

e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Daily Cleanser (£6)

Spot it: In Regina's room

When people ask me where in their beauty routines they should be spending money, I always say not to bother with a fancy-pants cleanser. It's on your skin for such a short amount of time that it's really not worth splashing out, and you just need something that gets rid of makeup and grime. This is exactly that, a relatively no-frills, gel-based cleaner that did a brilliant job of whisking away excess shine and leftover makeup from the surface of my skin post-gym without leaving it feeling stripped or tight. Although it's a gel, which I'd normally recommend more for oilier complexions, the addition of hyaluronic acid and ceramides makes it gentle and hydrating enough for drier skin too.

e.l.f. Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand (£9)

Spot it: When applied by Karen

The point of contouring is to amplify and exaggerate the shadows of your face so that you look like you've got cheekbones to rival Reneé Rapp, even if you don't. The padded applicator of this contour wand is the perfect size and shape to carve out your features, slotting neatly beneath your cheekbones, down the sides of your nose, and across your jawline. It also blends really well too, so I wasn't left with any with harsh, tell-tale lines. If anything, I'd say the colour payoff could be deeper (I used shade light/medium) but probably better that way than straying into muddy territory which contours can.

e.l.f. Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil (£8)

Spot it: When Regina drops it

Nothing says Plastics quite like glossy lips, and this one is as much of a keeper as Aaron Samuels. The applicator is huge (they describe it as XXL and they're not joking), which makes applying on-the-go easy. As a bit of an early '00s throwback, the formula also has a slightly minty taste and scent to it which tingles a little but doesn't sting. As it's an oil rather than a gloss I'd say the texture is more tacky than full-on sticky, and it sinks into the lips over time as opposed to just sitting on top and drying them out. I wouldn't say I could see much of a difference from the tint (I used pink quartz) so if it's a change of colour you're after then I'd say apply a slick of lipstick first and use this as a shiny topper.
